Or a Tuesday, for that matter. Stevenson is the place to go in the Gorge for rejuvenation. An afternoon in the spa at Skamania Lodge, or the mineral hot springs at North Bonneville and Carson, will cure whatever ails you. There's simply no better way to relax after a day of hiking, biking, or whatevering, than with a soak.

Another great way to relax is with a tour of the Gorge's wineries and vineyards. Taste the wide variety of vintages the Columbia Gorge Appellation has to offer. And enjoy the views along scenic highway 14. The Gorge has 17 wineries, so plan on taking another soak when you return.
